Refuge survives intact, but two arrivals lower morale even further.
I am sure I was not alone in having a terrible night’s sleep; winds howling, rain lashing down and thoughts of the poor dogs at the SPA was not the best recipe for a restful night. All the kennels have an inside covered area, of course, but with the amount of water that came down,…
Weather warning, but snow seems to suit some!
The SPA received a message today from the Confederation Nationale des SPAs, to which we arec affiliated (as opposed to the Paris SPAs) to see if we had suffered any damage as a result of the inclement weather. This message was directed mostly at the refuges located in the South East and was offering help…
No adoptions, and Sacripan is back.
Few things give us as much pleasure as seeing pictures of ex SPA dogs now happy in their new homes, or out playing. And personally few things give me as much pleasure as pictures of happy beagles! So this photo of Djazz (formerly Carpet) got my day off to a great start! The afternoon at…
Two adoptions but three arrivals, including 2 puppies
Some dogs are just lucky. Photos of Mack, our lovely Malinois, caught the eye of a woman who was browsing Facebook, and she just knew that he was the dog for her. A visit followed where this was confirmed, and today, just 11 days after his arrival, Mack left for his new home in Agde….
Two leave but a puppy comes back.
This was the second day in a row that we had news before the refuge had opened; only this time it was GOOD news! Zya found her owners. We are delighted for her; I didn’t say too much yesterday, but she had already spent a great deal of time at the SPA while her owner…
Freedom For The Bond Girl….
Let’s hope today is not an omen for the rest of the week. Before the SPA had even opened, the adopter of Kort (who left us on Saturday) brought his new dog back. After an hour’s walk yesterday he noticed that Kort was limping, and so we had “sold” him a faulty dog. And no,…
Busy month coming up.
In yesterday’s blog I promised to tell you about upcoming events at which you can help support the SPA, so here we goes. And yes, December is going to be a busy month! First is the weekend of the 6th and 7th December. This is the start of The Magic of Christmas in Carcassonne. On…
Two adoptions, no arrivals.
So after yesterday’s blog, time to catch up on SPA news. Firstly though, many thanks to Annette for her “Just Giving” initiative. Several people contacted us to say that the concept was completely alien to them. That is not to say that they are not generous people, but the idea is not as widespread in…

Most of you will have already seen the post shared on Dog Rescue Carcassonne’s page re Tails wagging for #Giving Tuesday in the South of France by Annette Morris (http://www.givingtuesday.org/tails-wagging-for-givingtuesday-in-the-south-of-france) so tonight’s blog is to explain a wee bit more about it and say thank you very much to Annette. There is a day for…
